Steve talked about the iPhone fairly early in the keynote this morning (which is still going on). Here’s the main iPhone news so far:
- 4 million iPhone sold in its first 200 days – wow.
- Average 20,000 per day
- iPhone has got 19.5% of U.S. SmartPhone market (2nd behind RIM)
- New software available TODAY for the iPhone (update later presumably): Maps with location, Webclips, Customize home screen, SMS multiple people
- SMS multiple people = check, big wish list item
- Maps with location looks very cool, just as expected
- Webclips = bookmark a web page on the home screen, but it even will remember where you zoomed / panned to on the page
- Jiggly icons to re-arrange them
- Can have up to 9 Home screens and flick between them as with Springboard hack
- Software changes just about all as revealed in the leaked 1.1.3 firmware videos
What’s NOT mentioned yet:
- No early SDK
- No Copy & Paste (why???)
- No MMS
Hopefully / maybe he’ll talk more about iPhone later, but that’s about it for now. Presumably the 1.1.3 firmware update will appear later today. Worth giving up 3rd party apps for?
